Winning the Golden Globe for best Foreign Film and the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, Wild Strawberries "has a compassionate view of life that best illustrates the more optimistic side of Bergman's puzzled humanity." (THE GUARDIAN).
A crabby old professor goes to collect an award and on his journey reconnects with the lyricism of his youth.
REVIEWS
"One of Bergman's warmest, and therefore finest films." - Geoff Andrew, TIME OUT
"Gunnar Fischer's photography becomes ever more luminous and Sjöström's performance grows in greatness." - EMPIRE MAGAZINE
"If some of the symbolism is a bit top-heavy, Bergman's richly evocative contrasts of youth with age more than compensate, as does Sjöström's majestic performance." - TOTAL FILM
"An archetypal Ingmar Bergman film, and one of his best." - CHICAGO READER

Other films in the Ingmar Bergman From The Inside Out:
01
Film: The Seventh Seal
1 Sep 2013, 7:30 p.m.
Widely recognised as an absolute masterpiece, The Seventh Seal “marked a turning point in cinema and asserted film as a medium that could ponder life, death and existential angst” (The Telegraph). Using the rich metaphorical outer sheath of a mediaeval setting and a game of chess, Bergman explores our relationship with death.
15
Film: Through A Glass Darkly
15 Sep 2013, 7:30 p.m.
"You can freeze almost any frame of this film and be looking at a striking still photograph." - Film Critic Roger Ebert. This film is Bergman's study of a world without love: Karin slides inexorably into madness, losing her hold on the world, as she is trapped in a male world of repressed feelings.
22
Film: Persona
22 Sep 2013, 7:30 p.m.
"I said that Persona saved my life—that is no exaggeration. If I had not found the strength to make that film, I would probably have been all washed up" - Bergman. Absolutely stunning film about how power, jealousy, care and love can all come into play in one relationship, between a nurse and her patient.
